The 78th Volume of Hi-Fructose is here.
The New
Contemporary
Art Magazine
Hi-Fructose is a quarterly print art magazine founded by artists Attaboy and Annie Owens in 2005. Hi-Fructose focuses squarely on the art which transcends genre and trend, assuring readers thorough coverage and content that is informative and original. Hi-Fructose showcases an amalgamation of new contemporary, emerging as well distinguished artists, with a spotlight on awe inspiring spectacles from round the world.
in Aistė Stancikaitė’s painting “Some Time We Walk Together,” two gloved hands are joined by a set of finger cuffs. The connected, silver rings resemble wedding bands. As for the hands, whether they belong to one or two people is up to the viewer to decide. With only a partial, faint outline of what could be a hip—visible against a gradient background that moves from blue to purple to red—the narrative is quite open-ended. “I often like to suggest a narrative without fully disclosing it—sometimes even I am not fully aware of the complete story behind the image,” says the Berlin-based, Lithuanian artist. “Often, images arise from emotions I want to visualize, much like ‘Some Time We Walk Together.’”

Game of Shrooms, the worldwide Art N Seek Holiday happens tomorrow (today if you are in Tasmania, Australia or New Zealand). Once a year, all kinds of artists create and hide original work for the lucky collector to find and keep!
Here are just a tiny few of the thousands of artists participating. See @gameofshroomsofficial for info on how to find if an artist is playing by you.
New Jersey artist Sandy Skoglund creates more than photographs, she creates tableaus. Her well thought out compositions portray imaginative and bizarre scenes. These scenes often include complex installations of artificial landscapes or rooms made out of unusual material choices such as pipe cleaners. Her bodies of work entitled Fresh Hybrid and True Fiction Two illustrate that within the art of her photography she is the director. Her latest works are a combination of multiple mediums including ceramic snowflakes, drawings of snowflakes, and photos of eyes that belong to people and animals. @sandyskoglundart
The seamlessly stop motion animated videos of the finely dressed mysterious shroud-covered Torbahead makes us want to get up, then sit right back down again. The artist reminds us that weirdness can be found in the drabbest limbo like environment.

Gary Baseman has spent decades drawing at restaurants, waiting for food to arrive. And there’s no better location to show off these drawings than inside a Los Angeles greasy spoon; in this case Johnie’s, a former diner and location for many Hollywood films (Big Lebowski fans pay special attention). Baseman’s pop up gallery has been the scene of surprise events, both visual and food related, with visits by famous chefs and fast cuisine aficionados during his stay. but there’s still time to visit, peruse the art filled menu and treat your eyes to the dripping creature filled world Gary has freshly prepared for you, Off the Menu.
